Come by, say hello

I’ve been a little more active on X (Twitter) lately. And I wanted to welcome those of you who are following me there. I’m there mainly to broadcast whenever I have an update on this blog. For me I tend to have longer things to say about stuttering, so I’ve found the blog is the best format.

Although I’ve said what the purpose of this blog is, I thought I’d reiterate a few things for people who are new.

I’ve had this going for several years, so there are tens of thousands of words written about what I’ve gone through with regards to stuttering. I’ve talked about my childhood, teenage years, high school, college, and working. Job changes, life changes. And there are still a lot more to come.

Mainly I’m doing this for my younger self – the stuff I would have liked to have known back when I was a kid struggling with stuttering, being covert, and not knowing what I could make out of my life. In the past year or two I’ve not written as much as I did earlier. I think it’s because I’m in a different place mentally. I’ve really come to accept stuttering. So I felt that I shouldn’t give it as much attention. However, I realized that even though I was going through that, many others may not be. Some people may be coming to this site for the first time. And be looking for help or answers or some perspective. Now I think I want to take this up again and keep it updated, keep it relevant, and keep the links interesting. 

I’ve found so many people on X who are SLPs. Many don’t say stuttering/stammering specifically, but I wanted to connect to let everybody know that if you do run into someone who stutters, this site can be a great resource for stories. Please like, share, say hello, and spread the word as much as you can, and I look forward to connecting with more people and helping them on their journey, no matter the pace. It really means a lot to me when you do send a small note – it lets me know that people are really listening and getting something out of all this.
